I thought I knew you.
Now you are a stranger to me…but I’m not sorry.
The echoes are still there, remnants of the broken. The shell of the sunken ship, eaten away, reclaimed by nature, by changing tides. But the strong pieces remained, waiting to be salvaged, to see the sunlight once more.
You frightened me, fascinated me, bewildered me. How could such beauty and such darkness reside together for so long? How did the gypsy end up chained and still survive? How could you live by your heart when it was shattered beyond belief?
I still wonder, but I guess I’ll never really know. Because you don’t know.
Do you hold yourself responsible? Or me? Two sides of the same coin. Was it your choice to let the darkness take you? Or life’s?
What you were and what you wanted to be could not have been more different, but it was your blessing and your curse to be the poet. To feel it, feel it all. Magnified. Multiplied. Searing, pulsing, stabbing, numbing. Dreams, hopes, words, passion.
Two sides of the same coin. It was flipped. And now here I am, on the other side of the mirror. Smiling.
Now you are a stranger to me…but I’m not sorry.

“Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don’t understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating within our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…remembered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us”
Dan Brown (The Lost Symbol)
Amazing writing. This paragraph really got to me, just had to share…

I wonder how we are so different
You see the world in black and white
You can not seem to see the magic
The way life shimmers in the light
I know that even when it’s dark
There can be beauty in the pain
I see a chance to be renewed
But you can only see the rain
To me there’s poetry in everything
All thoughts, emotions magnified
My feelings written on my face
I couldn’t hide them if I tried
You seem to think I should be able
To just accept things and move on
To shut my pain up in a box
Convince myself that nothing’s wrong
But I have no concept of that life
Sometimes to fly, you have to fall
To live without a fire, a passion
That’s not a life to me at all
